A
Country Life takes place at the Halcyon Gallery,
29 Bruton Street, Mayfair from 14th June - 13th July 2002.

One
of the worlds leading canine artists, Joseph H Sulkowski,
will be making a rare visit to the UK next month, when he
launches his major one-man exhibition of paintings and drawings
in London.

Over 40 works by the American artist will be diplayed at the
exhibition entitled A Country Life, which takes
place at the Halcyon Gallery, 29 Bruton Street, Mayfair from
14th June - 13th July 2002.

There is a strong emphasis on the Foxhound in the forthcoming
exhibition; however, the breeds that the Nashville-based artist
has painted have been many and varied; Foxhounds to Basset
Hounds, the Brittany to Golden Retrievers, Pugs to Bulldogs,
the Cavalier to the Schipperke, Norfolk Terriers to Westies.

Dogs have always featured largely in Josephs life but
crept into his art through the sporting breeds he saw around
him in Tennessee. As a child he had a Cocker Spaniel and later
he and his wife had Jack Russell Terriers. They bought a Cavalier
King Charles Spaniel for their two children and this dog became
Josephs constant companion and shadow when he was working
in his studio. Today, the family owns two Redbone Coonhounds,
a breed highly coveted in Tennessee for its working instinct.

Jospehs work is now represented in public and private
collections worldwide, including France, Saudi Arabia, Singapore,
Canada, Mexico and Switzerland, as well as across the United
States. He has received numerous awards including the AAPL
Grand National Award, the Grumbacher Gold Medallion Award,
and the National Arts Club Award. He is a life member of the
Art Students League of New York and is also a member of the
American Artists Professional League, the National Society
of Mural Painters, and the National Arts Club, New York.
